Today was the first training camp practice featuring equipment – well, shells anyway – and I was there live Tweeting about all the action. If you were not able to follow along, I put together a list of my Tweets to catch people up on today’s happenings, as well as a couple of pics from today’s morning practice.

Hankerson Continues To Impress
The Redskins third round draft pick Leonard Hankerson had another solid practice today, in his bid to make Washington’s 2011 roster. The big receiver from the ‘U’ has impressed early in camp, and has wowed the crowds with a couple of circus catches.
Tips For Watching Training Camp Practices
With the Washington Redskins first open training camp practice on Saturday, fans were finally able to get their first look at the 2011 Redskins. As bleeders of burgundy and gold poured over lists and tweets to try and figure out who that guy was wearing number XX, the players were out on the field working hard.
THN Toon – Haynesworth
When I heard that Albert Haynesworth had failed his physical with the New England Patriots – I wasn’t the least bit surprised. Were you?
Yeah, I couldn’t help myself…
Daniels Wants To Set The Record Straight
Phillip Daniels is upset with Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post’s DCSportsBog.
The very recently released defensive lineman obviously had to face a barrage of questions over the last 24 hours, and he’s not to pleased about the interpretations of his comments, made by Steinberg. Daniels took the opportunity this afternoon, to make his side of the story clear on Twitter. What follows is a series of tweets by Phil (@PhilDayz93), with links to the actual Twitter posts.
A Prodigal Son Returns Home
If you’re looking for a blog about a Washington Redskin fan favorite returning home – then this blog is the wrong place to look! Sort of.
This blog is just an FYI and a teaser that a long, long time friend of THN is making his way back to the Redskins blogosphere. In fact, he’s been gone long enough for us to say, that he and I were blogging about the Redskins before there were blogs.
Recapping Day 3 of Redskins Free Agency
The Redskins made their biggest move of the day early Thursday morning by shipping disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2013 5th round draft pick. This ends a dark chapter because Haynesworth is widely viewed as arguably the biggest free agent bust in franchise history, which should say something. Ironically, Haynesworth heads to another team with a 3-4 defense and a coach regarded as even stricter than Mike Shanahan in Bill Belichick.
Some Player Cuts, Cut Deeper Than Others
Today the Redskins released veteran defensive lineman Phillip Daniels.
That sucks.
I don’t want to have an intellectual conversation about how the team is doing this, or the team is doing that – I will say only that I am very happy with the moves that the organization has made in the last few days.
Most of them.
Recapping Days 1 and 2 of Free Agency
The Redskins took a little time to begin Tuesday’s opening of free agency but as the afternoon and evening went on, they stopped being shy and went right at it.
Santana Is Back!
The first day of ‘free agency’ has been relatively quiet for the Redskins, but they made their first splash this afternoon re-signing Santana Moss. The 3-year deal is reportedly worth$15 Million, with a $5 Million bonus, and $6 Million in guaranteed money.
